To achieve the same successes as people with more privilege will be more difficult as the institutions of this country were not built for you: but it isn't impossible. In fact, your achievements are and will continue to be that much more inspiring and impressive. You should be proud of yourself. Congratulations on making it this far: keep it up!

Pretty Privileged

You have definitely had a privileged upbringing, but it isn't to say you haven't struggled. You are more advantaged than disadvantaged in daily life, which seems like a great balance. Your perspective of not having a silver-spoon, but still having a rather comfortable life creates the opportunity to foster empathy. Support the people who are facing institutional discrimination and teach the people with the most privilege to do the same. Take advantage of your privilege and be the best person you can be, but don't forget about the people who aren't in your position.

You have lived a life of privilege. That isn't to say you haven't experienced hardship or being disadvantaged, but the institutions put in place work in your favor. This is not something to be ashamed of, because none of us can chose our inherited privileges. It is good to reflect and remember the advantages you have in everyday life, but instead of dwelling over the fact that others don't hold the same privilege, use it to help others. There's no need to have a savior complex: instead, assist and support people who aren't in your position. To build a better world, we need to bridge the gap between the disparities of privilege and that includes the help of the people in power.
